G. boivinii

From: Don Burns <burns at mobot.org> on 1998.05.04 at 02:27:25(2080) Yamagata-san, I have G. boivinii growing in the ground here, unattended and not fertilized, other than what they pick up from the spreading of fertilizer for the grass several times per year. The leaves appear each year in March and four weeks later inflorescences appear. They are growing in very sandy and somewhat acidic soil. Most of us who have these plants here in the subtropics regard them as weeds because of the speed with which they spread. New plants are easily grown simply from a leaf that has fallen to the ground. They are, in general, extremely prolific plants. Don +More Don Burns Plantation, FL USA Zone 10b
